It was unlocked and it is lagging as hell, I'd like to install like Australian unlocked firmware (XSA) but I don't know, us it safe for my device I just got it.
Cannot update to nougat as it gives tampering error.
Go to https://www.sammobile.com/ to get the firmware, then flash it with Odin. Vodafone should be there, Optus was.
Just make sure you go into download mode on the phone first to confirm you have the correct model information before you download the firmware and flash it.

i am using gs6 920i variants. its carrier locked i have not received update via ota. i am asking if its possible if i can download official 920i marshmallow firmware from sammobil and flash it. need your help...thanks
Yes, download (INU) it and load that PDA on your device but be sure that you are voiding your warranty (considering that yours is carrier locked). Make sure to also get the original firmware for your country and carrier to flash in, just in case you need it back
I have the SM-G955F.
I flashed TWRP using the instructions on here and everything worked perfectly fine. I even booted back into the stock OS - however, the Magisk app was not there.
I was going to boot back into TWRP when I got the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" and went into a bootloop.
Then I followed the instructions to flash the stock firmware back on to my S8+, but it failed. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
I used Odin3_v3.13.1. I have attached 2 pictures to show the error.

Sounds like you are trying flash older firmware than what is on your phone. Odin saying you are flashing firmware with bootloader ver 3. Download mode saying you have ver 4 bootloader. You will need latest version of firmware with ver 4 bootloader or higher and flash with Odin.
Bootloader version number is 5th number from right of firmware name.

Thanks so much for responding. So from my reading and researching, I figured that was the case. However, I could only find the the official firmwares from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Which happens to be v3 bootloaders. Is there any specific v4 bootloader that I should be flashing? I am at my wits end here. I followed all the instructions perfectly...
I read that everything works fine until reboot then you get the "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-galaxy-s8-crgh-rom-t3846009
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firmware can be download from sammobil or updato and flashed with odin
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model
Select phone model then search for firmware for your region ( and carrier ).
Only official binary error is probably due to your rmm state being in prernormal state which means if you unlock your bootloader ( oem ) and reboot it will relock bootloader causing this message.
Reflash firmware to get phone running again.
Have a read through this guide for more info about rmm state

Thank you for the links. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you helping me out.
I bought the phone from eBay, it's a SM-G955F - as for the region and carrier, I live in United States using AT&T. My primary reason getting the international version is to install a custom ROM on it. Is there a specific firmware for my region (U.S.) and carrier (AT&T) that I should flash? I don't see it US listed.
Also, using the guide I mentioned above, I did flash the RMM bypass, however, it was not the version 2, found in the guide you posted. Is that where I messed up?

I don't live in the US but there should be filters on the websites to filter by region. I normally use updato and firmware for your region shows up under U.S.A it will show you all your carrier's like at&t, Sprint, t-mobile and non carrier firmware.
As for the rmm zip version 2 may have been better it is more up to date and is smaller in size. Both should do the same job though.

I looked on updato and sammobile, both do not have USA region. Can I flash firmware from another region and still get it to work on my carrier?
For example, can I flash U.K. (Vodafone) since its on ver 4 firmware and uses GSM - regardless of region and carrier?

Just doubled checked saw you have the f series while updato has u1 version firmware that I can see.
You can flash firmware from the UK if you want but can't say for certain you will have full network capabilities due to the difference in region and carriers ( network capabilities ). I would try and find an unbranded version ( non carrier branded) firmware first if not then something like Vodafone .
There is a simple reason for this. If you came from TWRP as "reboot to download", this creates the problem. Turn off the phone. Go to download mode with Vol_Down+Bixby+Power and then press Vol_Up button. When I enter download mode like this, it flashes without any problems.
Hello,
I'm trying to fix my soft bricked phone with this error (no quotes):
"dm-verity verifiation failed..."
I've already soft and factory reset the phone to no avail, as it still will not boot past the Samsung logo. Googling the problem has told me that flashing the original firmware with Odin should fix it, but after hours of searching I still cannot determine what firmware I need to download and use. Reading some of the threads here supposedly i can use firmware that shares my carrier and country but I cannot find the correct combination on any site.
Country: US
Phone: S7 (G930F) - On the recovery mode screen the full designation is G930FXXU1BPH6
Carrier: T-Mobile
Version 6.0.1
Does anyone know exactly where I can find useable firmware for the phone? Everything I see online (like sammobile for example) just has the firmwares for other countries.
Before the bootlock my phone was rooted if it matters.

The G930F is a primarily European device, so a different region than the US.
The firmware version you have provided is an old version of Marshmallow on T Mobile Poland. The fact that it's Poland doesn't really matter it's still EU region.
Now heres the important part....T Mobile in Europe do not use all of the same bands as T Mobile US so although you can flash any firmware for Europe your phone will not work 100% in the US
So first of all flash with either a nougat firmware for United Kingdom T Mobile or Untied Kingdom nougat undranded (BTU). From Sammobile.
I don't advise going straight to Oreo because there may be a fix for older nougat firmware from EU region to work perfectly in US. Once you upgrade firmware you cannot downgrade.
Once your phone is up and running you just need to look on the forum of how to get a G930F device working perfect on US networks.
I bought a new S7 (G930F) at ebay. When it arrived i wanted to update to the newest firmware, but i got an error notification.
I contacted Samsung and they told me to send it in.
They checked it and told me, that they are not willing to help because the phone is flashed with a wrong firmware. I bought it as a new device. This is unpleasant.
The seller doesn't answer my messages, so i thought maybe i can flash a new firmware by myself. The actual firmware is working but it is outdated. (1. August 2018)
But how can i find out which firmware is correct for this phone? How to say if it is exynos or snapdragon?
The phone information
Modellnummer: SM-930F
Seriennummer: 5AF94C0C
Buildnummer: R16NW.G930FFXXU7CRH2
Kernel: 3.18.71-14274519 [email protected] #1
Basisband: G930FFXXU7CRH2
Android 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
I would like to flash the latest firmware and i want to use the phone in germany. Can somebody identify the correct firmware?
Thanks a lot
What does the phone say in download mode? The ROM can be modified to lie about the model and firmware, but download mode will tell you the truth.
If download mode says it's a G930F then it's Exynos, if it says G930U/V/T/A then it's Snapdragon.
If it is a G930F then good news is you can just flash whatever G930F firmware you want over top what's on it. If it's Snapdragon then you're a bit stuffed, you can't flash Exynos firmware onto Snapdragon.
For updating it if it is G930F my recommendation would be to find out the region code for your device, e.g. from here https://updato.com/firmware-archive...act=1&r=DBT,XEG,DCO,DDE,VIA,DTM,VD2&v=&rpp=15 then download the firmware using that region code with SamFirm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Download Mode says SM-G930V
I'm doomed
Yep that's a common scam. If you can't return to seller the next best thing would be to flash the G930U firmware, which is the generic unlocked firmware for Snapdragon.
It won't give you the equivalent experience, but it will remove any bloat and give you a carrier unlocked phone experience.
You can use the same methods I mentioned to get your hands on the latest G930U firmware and update the device, but you may need this specific Odin version to flash G930U over G930V https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Thanks. Does TMK, TFN, TMB,... make a difference when the phone is used in germany?
Should i flash all 5 files:?:
AP
BL
CP
CSC
Home
I tried and my result is: Flashing only AP was not enough. Flashing all 5 worked fine for me. I chose TMK and even LTE is working. Thanks a lot.
Glad its working, for reference CSC and Home_CSC are both CSC files and you usually pick just one. Home_CSC doesn't do a data wipe, CSC does.
But when changing from G930V to G930U it's always safest to do the CSC wipe.
So both my phone and vzw branded phone are same model, and android 11 firmware is out for verizon and my phone received the G715U1UEU7BUC3 ota 11. Is the latest Odin software and verizon G715USQU7BUC1 firmware what i need to get it done?
Also, do i need to do the full flash or can i get by with just one file that includes all the vzw bloatware. From what ive read i can get by with flashing just the userdata file. Once complete ive also read i need to do a factory reset and that it can be done i DL mode. Is that true? Finally can i leave my sim in for this or should it be out
?
?
Anybody??
Not even a response from Europe where they must hand these xcover pro's out with every gas tank fillup.
I have the latest version of odin installed and downloaded the verizon ota firmware G715USQU7BUC1 and am ready to give it a shot. I would just like a little confirmation im on the right track. Bootloader versions are the same. (bootloader is still locked) Even a grunt would do..........
